Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the area of aerial systems for cameras, typically for stabilized cameras, and also called suspended camera systems, which allow to move a camera through a three-dimensional space by means of cables.
  • Aerial systems typically involve the provision of cables at a certain height, wherein those cables are, on one side, connected to a camera system and, on the other side, reeled (in a reel). By controlling a reel, the camera system is pulled by means of the respective cable closer to the reel.
  • the control of the reels allows to move the camera system to a desired position.
  • Reels may be provided on the ground and pulleys at a certain height. By passing each cable through a pulley, the desired heights for a camera may be obtained while maintaining reels on the ground.
  • Known aerial systems typically involve the provision of a stabilized camera, for instance through a gimbal. Such camera head system is then coupled to a platform to which the cables are connected, usually by means of arms which project from the platform and to which the cables are connected.
  • a typical platform may be modelled as a parallelepiped arranged horizontally.
  • a gimbal coupled to a camera.
  • the gimbal may freely rotate with regard to the platform, provided a certain damping.
  • the arms comprise two sections: a first section which is jointly fixed to the platform and a second section which rotates in relation to the first section, such axles of rotation being in a same plane as the lower surface of platform.
  • Such rotation allows a greater manoeuvrability of the platform and, correspondingly, of the whole aerial system having the camera head.
  • FIG. 1 contains the so-called flying area of such prior art solutions.
  • the flying area of an aerial system refers to the positions in which the camera head may be placed through the control of the reels, and within the whole three-dimensional area provided between the pulleys and the ground.
  • FIG. 1 shows a four reel aerial system, a cable being reeled in each of the reels and then conveyed through a respective pulley, before being connected to a respective arm of the aerial system.
  • the pulleys are provided, for the sake of the figure, on the top of poles.
  • the set of the aerial system comprising platform, arms, gimbal and camera is provided close to the ground.
  • the cables are stretched up to such point. From that position, the set may be brought to any of the positions within the imaginary transparent area represented in grey, and which represents the flying area of the system. All the areas in between the boundaries of that flying area and the pulleys are not accessible, and thereby hinder the image capturing abilities of the system.
  • US 2007/152141 A1 shows an aerial camera system as described in the section above.
  • the present solution intended innovatively overcomes such drawback, by enabling an aerial system to have a wider flying area when compared to prior art solutions.
  • the aerial system may comprise i) a main platform, ii) means for coupling to a camera head, iii) a main axle which is perpendicular to said main platform, iv) at least three arm axles, the arm axles being perpendicular to said main axle and independently from each other rotatable around said main axle, and all arm axles being arranged such that are part of a same imaginary plane, and v) at least three arms, each coupled to and rotatable around an arm axle,
  • Each of the arm axles is configured such that its rotation in relation to the main axle is free and damped.
  • Each of the arms is configured such that its rotation in relation to the respective arm axle is free and damped.
  • the solution of the present disclosure enables, including through the provision of arm axles which rotate in relation to a main axle and independently from each other, to reach a wider area for a camera to capture images.
  • Each of the arm axles may be rotatable around the main axle through a respective arm axle angle course, each arm axle angle course being defined between a first angle and a second angle, each arm axle angle course and the respective contained angles being unique for each arm axle and respective arm.
  • the arm axle angle courses of the arm axles may be identical.
  • Each arm axle angle course may be less than 360° divided by the number of arm axles.
  • Damping may be provided by one or more dampers within the main axle.
  • Damping may be provided by a damper within each arm axle.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a plurality of axle coupling plates, each axle coupling plate being associated to an arm axle, wherein the axle coupling plates are centred in the main axle and connected to the respective arm axle, the independent rotation of each arm axle around the main axle thereby being provided by the respective axle coupling plate.
  • Each of the arms may be rotatable around the respective arm axle through a respective arm angle course, the arm angle course being defined between a first angle and a second angle.
  • the arm angle courses of the arms may be identical.
  • Each arm angle course may be less than 180°.
  • the main platform may be such that a stabilized camera head is rotatable around a camera axle which is parallel to the main axle.
  • the camera axle and the main axle may be collinear.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a plurality of cables in the same number as arms, each cable being coupled to one of the three or more arms, and each cable being is suitable to be reeled from a respective reel.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a plurality of reels in the same number as cables, each reel being configured to feed and reel one of the cables and thereby being independently associated with a cable and a respective arm.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a camera head coupled to the means for coupling to a camera head.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a gimbal, the gimbal being coupled to the means for coupling to a camera head and the camera head being coupled to the gimbal, the camera head thereby being coupled to the means for coupling through the gimbal.
  • the aerial system may further comprise a plurality of pulleys in the same number as cables, each pulley being associated with a cable, wherein each cable is provided through the respective pulley between the respective reel and arm.
  • the present disclosure also includes a method for capturing image media with a stabilized camera head.
  • the method may comprise:
  • the method may further comprise controlling the reels to move the camera head from a first position to a second position.
  • the method may further comprise controlling the reels to move the camera head from a first position to a second position through a predefined path.
  • the method may further comprise controlling the reels to move the camera head from a first position to a second position at a predefined velocity.
  • the aerial system may comprise a main platform.
  • Such main platform is an element which also provides a reference in the system, e.g., the main axle being perpendicular to the main platform.
  • the main platform may comprise one or more elements.
  • One of the elements may have a substantially plane form, which may be rectangular, circular, or another shape.
  • the means for coupling to a camera head -which preferably is a stabilized camera head - may be coupled directly to the camera head or to a gimbal in which the camera head is provided.
  • the gimbal then provides for the stabilization of the camera head.
  • the arm axles are independently rotatable with regard to the main platform. that allows a higher manoeuvrability of the aerial system, which then is not restrained by the fixed joints and lack of rotation of the prior art systems. Moreover, the arms also rotate with regard to the arm axles. Such provides an additional degree of freedom. Arm axles provided in a same, imaginary, plane provide for an evened reference from which arms project.
  • Figure 2 shows a four reel aerial system - as was the case in Figure 1 -, with a cable being reeled in each of the reels and then conveyed through a respective pulley, before being connected to a respective arm of the aerial system.
  • the pulleys are provided, for the sake of the figure, on the top of poles.
  • the set of the aerial system comprising platform, arms, axles, gimbal and camera is provided close to the ground.
  • the cables are stretched up to such point. From that position, the set may be brought to any of the positions within the imaginary transparent area represented in grey, and which represents a flying area according to the system of the present disclosure.
  • the areas in between the boundaries of that flying area and the pulleys are not accessible, and it can be immediately seen that such inaccessible areas are much reduced compared to Figure 1 , the prior art solution.
  • the camera head may be a stabilized camera head.
  • the aerial system - and a camera coupled to the aerial system - may be suspended and brought to a desired position, to provide a view for the camera which is above an area to be covered by the camera.
  • each of the arm axles may be rotatable around the main axle through a respective arm axle angle course.
  • the arm axle angle courses (and the respective contained angles) are unique for each arm axle and respective arm, they provide that no collision between arms which rotate around a same axle occurs.
  • Each of the arm axles may be configured such its rotation in relation to the main axle is free and damped. Damping of the movement of arm axles and, thus, of arms, allows that - although in a free movement - such movement finds resistance and thus is soft, which is a relevant feature considering the technical area, which involves the capture of images.
  • each of the arms may also be configured such its rotation in relation to the respective arm axle is free and damped.
  • a plurality of axle coupling plates may also be provided.
  • Each axle coupling plate is associated to an arm axle and centred in the main axle.
  • Each of such plates is also connected to a respective arm axle.
  • the plates may be stacked, thereby providing a compact solution which still allows the arm axles and respective arms to rotate.
  • Each of the arms may be rotatable around the respective arm axle through a respective arm angle course, the arm angle course being defined between a first angle and a second angle.
  • the arm angle courses of the arms may be identical and less than 180°. Such that the arms do not collide with any element which is provided below or does not reach angles which could be accessed by other arms.
  • the movement of an arm, around the arm axle, may be referred to as being along a vertically provided plane, in height.
  • a camera axle which is parallel - may even be collinear - to the main axle may be provided.
  • a stabilized camera head is thus rotatable around the camera axle.
  • a plurality of cables may be provided. Each cable is associated with an arm, thus the cables being in the same number as arms. Each cable is coupled to an arm and is suitable to be reeled from a respective reel.
  • a plurality of reels may be provided.
  • Each reel is associated with a cable, and thus reels are in the same number as cables (and, thus, arms).
  • Each reel feeds and reels one of the cables.
  • the control of reels allows to control the reeling of a respective cable and, thus, allows to control the extension of the cable outside the reel and until the arm, thus roughly to the camera head.
  • reels positioned around a football field and a camera which is suspended through cables connected to such reels.
  • the positioning a camera head in a desired position to capture a football match play is possible, particularly including positions which are not reachable through prior art systems.
  • a camera head may be coupled to the means for coupling.
  • a gimbal may be provided.
  • a camera may be connected to the gimbal, which provides for the stabilization of the camera.
  • the gimbal may be coupled to the means for coupling to a camera head, the camera head thereby being coupled to the means for coupling through the gimbal.
  • a plurality of pulleys may be provided. Each pulley is associated with a cable, and thus, pulleys are in the same number as cables (and, thus, arms). Each cable is provided through - or conveyed - the respective pulley between the respective reel and arm. Thus, pulleys may be provided at a desired height, and the camera head is suspended by means of the cables which are reeled in the reel and coupled to the arms of the aerial system. As previously referred, the control of the reeling allows to control the position of the camera head.
  • the aerial system of the present disclosure allows an associated camera to be positioned in a wide flying area formed in a space within the several pulleys.
  • the aerial system may comprise at least one controller, the controller comprising one or more microprocessors.
  • Each reel may comprise a controller which controls the reeling, in particular controlling the reeling of the cable in the reel and, thus, controlling the extension of the cable between the reel and the respective arm.
  • the present disclosure also includes a method for capturing image media with a stabilized camera head.
  • the method comprises:
  • the method may further comprise controlling the reels to move the camera head from a first position to a second position. Such movement may follow a predefined path, for instance a path which is known to provide a desired angle of a scene taking place in the area below the camera.
  • the path followed by the camera of the aerial system covers a corner kick of a football match from a position which is closer to a player kicking the corner to a position which is closer to the penalty area, forming an elliptical trajectory.
  • the control of the reeling in the several reels allows to coordinate such predefined path.
  • a predefined velocity of movement from a position to another position may also be desired.
  • the velocity may even be shifting throughout the trajectory. For instance, the velocity may be higher in a first part of the movement and lower in a second part, for the camera to reach a desired position faster and then capture a desired scene, while still moving.
  • the system, the method and/or their elements include components to perform at least some of the example features and features of the methods described, whether through hardware components (such as memory and / or processor), software or any combination thereof.
